Developing a Herbal Medicine

All Himalaya herbal formulations have their roots in classical Ayurvedic texts. A team of botanists and Ayurvedic experts at our research and development centre reviews these texts and shortlists herbs for further research. Himalaya's phytochemists study geographical and seasonal variations in the herbs' marker profiles. Phytochemical profiling is prepared across different seasons and locations to ensure batch consistency, good quality and standardisation of both production and the finished product. Herb quality is maintained through cultivation under agricultural scientists' supervision, or through sustainable collection and harvesting under trained botanists for wild-sourced herbs. The herbs must then pass rigorous quality checks against internal specifications defined by our scientists.

Himalaya's scientists have adopted bioassay-guided fractionation and purification technology to identify active fractions. This ensures that the herbal formulation is standardised and contains the required levels of bioactive compounds to produce a pharmacological response.

Super Critical Fluid (SCF) extraction, a rapidly developing technology for extracting herbal materials, is used to extract beneficial bioactive compounds.

This ensures that herbal formulations are free from solvent residues while delivering safe and effective products.
